US engineering firm McDermott International has won a contract from Saudi Aramco for engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) services in the Marjan and Zuluf fields, offshore Saudi Arabia
The contract includes the full suite of EPCI services for the relocation of control rooms in Zuluf GOSP-4, Marjan GOSP two and three, including the fabrication of new control rooms, boat landings and new jacket members, as well as the upgrade of all control systems as required.
Linh Austin, McDermott’s senior vice-president, Middle East and North Africa, said, “McDermott’s extensive history with Saudi Aramco and our commitment to the continued growth of Saudi Arabia’s energy sector is reflected in this award.”
“We have a long track record of executing similar upgrade projects and believe that by working closely with our clients we can offer industry-leading solutions which are suited to this evolving market segment,” he added.
The project is planned to be fully executed from McDermott’s Al Khobar office and Dammam fabrication facility, in line with its strategic focus to strengthen in-kingdom content.
Work on the project will start immediately and the contract award will be reflected in McDermott’s second quarter 2019 backlog. McDermott has defined a large contract between US$50mn and US$250mn.
